Hi guys, get real! You do have options with Skype, just as you do on Lush. Chat with words - just like opening a chat window on Lush. Chat with voice - just like a phone call! Or go the whole hog and display, show or share a cam. Skype really gives you grown-up options. Of course, one of those options is "No Skype" at all! Your choice but don't complain as though you have no choices! Puleeese! Rob
